BTW ... you may or may not consider this relevant, but "prepend" is not
a word, it's only a hackish neologism. I can't find it at all in Random
House, and the Oxford English Dictionary lists it only as a "v. rare"
synonym for premeditate. So I don't think there's much ground to argue
that it obviously conveys the right thing as compared to "cons".
